[Asterisk-Users] 800 Numbers (was Re: NuFone?)

[Matt Lawson]

I have been having the same problem with 800 numbers.  NuFone and 
VoicePulse always behave the same (when one can't connect, neither can 
the other).

I have so far found no explanation for this.  Some other 800 and 877 
numbers I can call.

Can you elaborate on this at all?

Thanks!
